Folks, I don't know what to do. I feel betrayed, fooled by some delusion that has finally wearing off and the "ugliness" of our country is peeling through. Why is this happening? Right now I want to leave. Sell my house, take my possessions and go to Canada or Norway and take my family with me. Of course, this is total nonsense but please bear with me!
In November 2008, I,like so many of my friends and colleagues were glued to the television screen. We watched in joy as each sate declared victory. Then after Ohio, it was true. It was called Barak Obama was our new president.
I watched in total awe as that crowd gathered in Chicago, It wasn't a planned move, just a random collective assembly of people: Whites, college students, African Americans, Latinos, Asians all wanting to be a part of history.
I felt we turned a corner and were finally going to become that "MORE PERFECT UNION" we dreamed about.
Now, the health care debacle; the race (that shouldn't be in Mass, Republicans poised to make serious gains in 2010. the negative, depression.
It looks like we are back to where in 2004.
Why can't we get to the next step? Maybe its me but I feel we are damned to be this way forever!
We can't change, we have to revert back to the same culture.
To top if off, my son is becoming depressed listening to conspiracy fanatics like Alex Jones. He use to be an Obama supporter now he can't stand the guy\ he sold out!
What is happening. Please any advice is appreciated.
